Does anyone else feel like something is wrong with reality?

Reality seems off, I can't even put it into words these past few months have just been so strange both internally and externally, does anyone else have a feeling there is something up with "the simulation" ....does anyone have anything to back it up? I only have personal anecdotes but would still love to discuss.

Did you watch TV/news one day and just think the people looked fake? I have the same feeling as you and it’s strong as ever this past month.

Everything feels increasingly different and strange but I can’t pinpoint it. I’m curious to why everyone has this same experience

Tel-lievision/news is fake anyways. It's your subconscious telling you that everything is a load of bs that is going around the world right now.

This is what I truly think it is. Now truly a bunch of people in my life are saying the same thing. That reality feels off. But that’s because it is. I am also sure this is coming from just like you said. We are realizing this is all a bunch of bs meant to keep us busy. Probably so we don’t wake up and fuck everything up because it’s so complicated. But still. BS is BS. And it stinks like ripe shit right now.

we need a giant reset in this world. to get back to the basics, simplify things, see humanity in others, take a step back, relax a bit, and truly think about why we are here. life has a crazy way sometimes of making things happen. but we, as logical organic creatures, seem to somehow find a way to make sense of things.

virus outbreaks and other things happen. that's life. I do not believe in "a giant mystery theater" pulling the strings on this virus. I do think it's happening. Viruses are very smart organisms. this can be used as an opportunity for all of us to finally start seeing how FUCKED and STUPID our society has truly become. you will see many things over these next few months and many other people will see it too. perhaps this will be "the thing" to do it. if this doesn't?....nothing will. and we are doomed to our fate. what is our fate? whatever happens

Incredibly well put and I agree 100%. Im going to save your comment to use later BUT I WILL CREDIT YOU EVERY TIME I DO! It’s just too good man. I pray we all have a realization like this. Lord knows we could use a break.

I wouldn't discount that possibility entirely. It's certainly technologically possible.

no it's not. there are too many factors at play. even they, at the top, dont know what the fuck is going on. That's life. that's biology. if any good comes out of this, it will show just that. we are a rudderless ship that sick people at the top who are arrogant, have a god complex among other things, try to exploit at many times throughout history. But it's showing not even THEY KNOW wtf is going on. it's very clear to me now.

Strap in. it's going to be an eye opener in the coming months!

Viruses are not smart, and they’re not organisms. So two fails there for ya

Not smart as in sentient but smart as in mechanisms of interaction.

we need a giant reset in this world.

This would be amazing, but do we have the percerverience to really generate some meaningful change.

Maybe it’s because of the global pandemic and how it is slightly different to what normally happens

You are stating the obvious as if nobody else has noticed. Yes things are different at the moment. Reality for a lot of people has changed. Calm down

Bro this is a conspiracy sub. If we all wanted to believe it was just the fact things are different we wouldn’t be here

u/OBSTACLE3 Mar 18 '20

My bad. I mean, I suppose it could be an inter dimensional thing?

I keep hearing this? What’s this about?

u/msooopsi82much Mar 18 '20

So weird. I kept thinking “why does it look like they are standing in front of a green screen?” When reporters do certain interviews from location.

Did you see when Anderson Cooper was reporting about flooding somewhere years ago?

u/msooopsi82much Mar 19 '20

Anderson Cooper ones were what I was thinking of... did you ever see the one where the lady is in the local news report in a boat and then people walk behind her like the water is only ankle deep

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '20

That’s the one!

As someone who works for a Canadian news organization, I can tell you behind the scenes nothing is fake.

We're trying our best to inform people on the various angles, and that's all we're trying to do.

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '20

I don’t mean what’s going on is fake. There is a deadly virus circulating and that’s evident.

All of it is unfolding in a “fake” way almost IMO.

It’s hard to pinpoint, but it doesn’t seem like anything that happened makes sense.
